—In-game instructions

Batty Barrel Bandit! is aBonus Stage found in the gameDonkey Kong 64, which is accessed by entering certainBonus Barrels, as well as by givingSnide the Weasel all 40 of his blueprints. For reasons unknown, his version is calledBonkers Barrel Bandit!

Gameplay[edit]

The player must roll a barrel slot machine and attempt to line up fourBananas on each of the four reels. This process must be done three times. The slots also depict watermelons, grapes, pineapples, and coconuts. If the player lines up one of these fruits, the machine resets itself. The number of turns is indicated by a hit counter at the top-left corner, and it decreases by a number for every instance where the player lines up four Bananas.

Like the other Bonus Stages, Batty Barrel Bandit! has a time limit, which is a little bit shorter in some later challenges. The player loses the jackpot challenge if they do not meet the criteria. If the player successfully gets three Banana jackpots, the Kongs win aGolden Banana (except in Snide's HQ).

Variations[edit]

There are three differentBonus Barrel challenges. The fourth challenge is atSnide's H.Q., which the Kongs can play after they obtain all 40Blueprints.
